My dad and I visited here for lunch on 9/29/17. We started off with crispy noodles and duck sauce, Hot and Sour soup. I tried an egg roll, it was hot and crispy and delicious. Both my dad and I ordered lunch specials. My dad ordered Moo Goo Gai Pan and I ordered Crispy Spicy Orange Beef, both of us had pork fried rice, everything was delicious. The service was nice and the woman who owns this establishment was very professional and remembers me on every visit. Award winning, Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, and Mandarin Cuisines! Definitely check out Da Chen, you will be glad to did! Highly Recommended!

Um, a great introduction to Vietnamese food in a convenient location. I'm a pho snob so their offering left me a little disappointed. Please dont let my opinion stop you from trying their menu. If you are unfamiliar with Vietnamese food you'll appreciate the cuisine here.By all means get the iced coffee --slow drip espresso...it's addictive.Of course I'll go back. It's convenient & tasty

Recently I decided to visit the Springfield location for a meeting with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. Now I am always glad to have an opportunity to get a lunch with a friend or two but always end up boxing the rest to go. Finding out they now have half portions even during lunch is such a great thing, I will be frequenting more often. Please try the lettuce raps and their chicken pad tai very yummy.

Been here a couple times now. Enjoy the atmosphere, friendly staff, and timely arrival of your food. Rolls are on point every time and taste delicious. The specialty cocktails are always fun and taste good as well. This will be a regular spot for quality sushi. Have not strayed far from the menu though.

First time visiting Ichiban Buffet for lunch. It was shortly after the weekday lunch crowd. No crowds. Great value for the price. Staff was friendly. Dining area was clean. Staff removed dirty plates promptly. Buffet area was clean, food nicely arranged and refilled quickly. Food seemed freshly made. Sushi rolls were great. The lunch buffet has everything. If you leave hungry, it is your own fault. Ribs, ham, turkey, pizza, steamed shrimp, fried blue crabs, vegetables, potatoes, several popular chinese dishes, sushi rolls, made to order stir fry, many soups, salads, desserts and so much more. There is something for everyone and great value.

My daughter was home from college and we had finished a work out at the Planet Fitness nearby, so we weren't looking for fast food, but "food fast" for lunch. When we arrived, around 12:15 pm, a couple of tables were occupied out of about 20 total, and I figured we got there before the lunch crowd, based on the other reviews. It stayed pretty quiet in there, and the very polite waiter brought us to a clean table with white linen napkins. He provided water ASAP and the $9 lunch specials menu. There were many options, including choice of meat ( chicken, beef, pork) and the relative "spice heat factor" was marked in asterisks. I ordered the drunken noodles with beef and my daughter ordered the pad thai chicken. We both ordered the coconut soup of the day, and I ordered mine with a side of chicken curry rolls and she ordered the spring roll, side. All was fresh, tasty and crisp.The pad thai and drunken noodles were excellent and the portions were plentiful. They provide metal chop sticks if your dexterous and a fork if you need one. The waiter kept our water glasses full and visited at regular intervals to see if everything was OK.He provided containers for our leftovers and asked if there was anything else we'd like to try. I said we would try the stickey rice, and he asked if we wanted the mango type or banana with beans type. We took the banana one, after he said they were out of Tira Misu. The rice was served with double portions so we could both have our own, same price.In summary, the portions are large enough to cover the $9 price, the quality and service, exceeded the total cost of the visit. We left stuffed and satisfied after a great gym workout. Highly recommended. (See pics)

As one would expect, the menu had the basics from Thai, Chinese, and Japanese. (No Thai for the lunches.) I got a Teriyaki Salmon Bento Box. Salad dressing tasteless, Sushi good texture but also tasteless, Salmon perfect. Lots of rice. Good service.

First of all - this place is immaculate! It must get s thorough scrub every day.The menu is large and the food portions are generous. The staff are very friendly and attentive. My sashimi was just below excellent, as the octopus had ice crystals all through it. (I know. Just a minor detail, but I don't want my 'pus to crunch.) The yellowfin was delicious and the eel was exceptional!The soup I had was full of veggies and tofu cubes. Best $4 I've spent in a long time.Atmosphere is nicely minimal. Warm and relaxing. Closed on Mondays. I'll be coming back here - often.Hengsthai.com
